"When will today end?" came Xiao Qifeng's deep yet gentle voice from the other end of the phone.
Lu Wanzheng leaned back in her seat, and Xiao Hua sat next to her, helping her straighten her dress to prevent the hem from getting wrinkled from the car ride.
"It feels like Mr. Xiao is checking up on me."
"Hmm? If that's what you think, then so be it. We were supposed to have dinner together today, but you abandoned me first."
Xiao Qifeng said resentfully as he flipped through the documents in his hand, waiting for Lu Wanzheng's reply. He heard a soft laugh coming from the phone ringing in his ear.
Upon learning that Lu Wanzheng had to work today, he ate only a few bites of dinner and continued working in the office. He was going to record a program tomorrow, and he wanted to work as much as possible today so he could get there earlier tomorrow.
"When did Mr. Xiao become so pretentious?"
Lu Wanzheng was both amused and exasperated.
Yao Zijun sat in the passenger seat, and leaned forward, touching Yao Zijun's shoulder. A voice whispered in her ear, "Then would you be willing to tell me, you sentimental person, when you're done? I'll come pick you up and take you home."
Yao Zijun turned her head and looked at Lu Wanzheng with a puzzled expression. Lu Wanzheng did not answer Xiao Qifeng, but instead asked Yao Zijun directly, "How long will it take for us to finish today?"
This was her first time attending a movie promotion event, and she wasn't quite sure about the specific procedures. She had originally planned to have someone guide her through the process, but unexpectedly, someone asked her about the end time.
Yao Zijun did not give a specific time, saying, "There will be a reporter interview later, but the exact time is not certain."
Lu Wanzheng replied to Xiao Qifeng regretfully, "Mr. Xiao, I don't know the time either. How about I call you when it's almost over?"
Xiao Qifeng held the pen in his hand, the cap on. He casually held the pen, the tip lightly tapping the table. "Okay."
Lu Wanzheng exchanged a few more sweet words with Xiao Qifeng before hanging up the phone.
She looked up and saw Yao Zijun looking at her with disdain.
Lu Wanzheng: "???"
Little Flower, who was standing nearby, also looked at her.
Lu Wanzheng: "Why are you looking at me like that? I know I'm pretty, but there's no need to stare at me like that. Even fairies get embarrassed and shy when stared at."
Even Xiaohua's eyes turned disdainful at this point.
"Sister Wanzheng, when you and your boyfriend are being lovey-dovey, can you please consider the single people here? If you don't care about the two of us, we'll team up to suppress you."
Suppress her?
Lu Wanzheng smiled, a slightly wicked smile, the corners of her lips curving upwards; it was unclear where she had learned that smirk.
She looked on with curiosity, her gaze shifting between Xiaohua and Yao Zijun. If she weren't wearing a formal dress that made it very inconvenient for her to move around, she would have liked to cross her legs and leisurely look at the two of them, "How are you two trying to put me down?"
Lu Wanzheng reached out and rubbed Xiaohua's face. "Don't forget that I pay most of your salary. Be careful or I'll deduct your salary."
The word "salary" hit Xiaohua's weak spot. She could lose her head or bleed, but her salary could not be deducted.
The battle had barely begun when Xiaohua left the "group chat".
Xiao Hua looked pitiful and helpless at Yao Zijun, "Sister Yao..."
Yao Zijun looked at Lu Wanzheng with an air of dominance, watching her jump around incessantly. Seeing Xiao Hua's defeat, she casually said, "I've had a lot of good offers piled up on my desk lately. I haven't arranged any work for you yet, as we're still in the period leading up to the Lunar New Year. I'll see if there are any suitable ones for you tomorrow, so you can get ready."
